Distracted Driving

Kids Events

Shop with a Cop

The Rogers Police Department and Rogers Target Store partner over the Holidays for “Shop with a Cop”. Students are hand selected for participation, with the help of the schools, in consideration of the positive impact the experience may have in a variety of individual situations.

We’d like to extend our appreciation to those who helped make this such a successful, impactful event!

Target again hosted and contributed. Police and Target Associates teamed up with students, helping them select gifts for the holidays.The kids then came to the police department for pizza and gift wrapping.

Lions Club again has donated $3,000 to this event and Burda's Towing donated another $500.00. Cabelas donated and hosted along with baseline pricing, Cub Foods provided meals for Christmas and Dimago's provided all the pizzas.

The Rogers community is fortunate to have these generous contributors, making this Christmas a positive experience for so many children!

Night to Unite

Rogers Night to Unite

Night to Unite is an important night in preventing crime and getting to know your neighbors. The Rogers Police Department invites you to participate in Night to Unite August 1, 2018.

Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to the event at North Community Park 2017, we will be holding another Rogers community event for the annual Night to Unite on August 1, 2018.

In 2017 we introduced our new K9 Spitz, and handler Officer Neumann. They had a K9 demonstration and even a few community members participated by using a bite sleeve with Spitz. There was a Fly-In from North Memorial Air Care during the event. They landed and residents were invited to ask questions and see the helicopter up close. The Rogers Fire Department and North Memorial Ambulance were there throughout the event. We also had an obstacle course, fatal vision goggles course, and other activities.

Expect an even larger, event-packed event in 2018!

Law Enforcement Memorial Association

LEMA is dedicated to assisting the families and home agencies of those law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. LEMA board members are police officers, survivors and friends of fallen officers who volunteer their time. All contributions go to supporting the activities of the association.

LEMA is able to provide assistance both at the time of death, as well as into the future. LEMA honors the families and fallen officers during National Law Enforcement Memorial Week. LEMA is there . . . when the need arises.

Pictures below show the wooden badge as it was filled with white carnations by survivors, police and citizens in honor of fallen officers during Law Enforcement Memorial’s candlelight vigil.

Rogers Police Department was one of many that attend and participate in the memorial ceremony.
